hehe...
I used to have a friend a few years ago, who was a hacker, by my definition. He knew what he was doing. He had all of the equipment and everything.
I remember when he was teaching another friend of mine how to hack. He was telling him that it would take three years to become good.
Oneday, this particular friend hacked into the FBI, he got a mighty shock when a message came up on his screen telling him to get off, other wise they would charge him.
Then again, this guy was a real psycho. He used to ask me if I wanted to kill anyone, and said that he would do it for a hundred dollars. Thats $50 US. But back then it would have really been about $75 US because the Australian dollar has really taken a hit.
His house got raided once because someone at our school tipped them off about his illegal weapons. He used to go around and ask people if they wanted to buy a WWII bomb that hadn't gone off yet. Or grenades that he had disarmed.
Anyway, he now lives in the States, working for Playboy.
Now that I think about it, this guy wasn't a hacker, he was what you would call your typical everyday Psycho.
